It is looking great, can't wait to see it finished.
I would think that Florian can nail it as well. Just email him he will get right back to you. He's so easy to work with and is a stickler for doing things the way they should be done. Also he uses the exact powder from the original supplier to Gibson. He's so good. I'm dying to get my R4 back. It's ready to go. I can give this thread a one to one comparison with an R0 Murphy aged Les Paul. Can't wait.Will Florian do any greening to the finish?
Wow.....simply stunning Goldtop makeover! I'd like the first right of refusal....eace2eace2
For better playability, you may wish to take a look at the string spacing at the bridge. They aren't spaced evenly. :dude:
how do you change that with this kind of bridge?

On my 1958 LP Junior I get the string spacing right by loosening the strings and manipulating the ball ends around in the holes until the strings line up properly. You just have to play around with the ball ends until the strings are evenly spaced. It's not difficult to achieve the proper string spacing.
Alternatively, there are new after-market stop-tailpiece bridges that are intonated and align the strings better than the old style.
Yeah, I've had to do that in the past. I changed out the bridge on my Les Paul Jr. with a compensator style but I'm not going to touch this one. I found it stays in tune nicely once the strings are where I want them. I play with a very light style so I usually don't have too much hassle.
